BRACKET.

Application filed January 24, 1922. Serial No. 531,428.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS FnANcIs TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Vallingford, New

Haven County, Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Bracket, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a. bracket for supporting curtain rods, and particularly to devices intended to be used in situations such as bay-windows where two curtains are to be supported from the same bracket but extending at angles to each other.

The main object is to construct a bracket 16 so that it is adapted to differing conditions of use by adjusting one part with respect to the other.

In its preferred form the bracket has a main bar member adapted to be secured to the wall, and one or more double armed members adjustable with respect to the bar. Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of bracket embodying the improvements of my invention, and showing one of the double 2 armed rod supports dotted in an adjusted position.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one of the rod supporting members on a larger scale.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged View of a modified 3 form of a fragment of a supporting bar.

5 representsf the main supporting memher, which is adapted to be secured to a wall or other element. Mounted on this main support is an adjustable member, which comprises a horizontally positioned cross-bar 6, pivoted intermediate its length to the support 5 and having at its opposite ends uprights 77. 8 is a pivot for connecting the cross-bar 6 to the main support 5, whereby the horizontally positioned arm 6 may be swung in a horizontal plane, so that the curtain rod supporting arms 7-7 may be so positioned as toproperly engage a curtain rod without strain.

The main supporting bar 5 may be formed of flat stock, as shown in Fig. 1, with the outer end bent back on itself and flattened, so as to afford a good bearing for the horizontally mounted cross-bar 6, or said bar 5 may be made of fiat stock, as indicated at 10 (Fig.

I claim:

A bracket comprising a main supporting bar, a horizontal cross bar pivotally mounted intermediate its length thereon, and an upwardly projecting curtain rod engaging member at each end of said cross bar, said engaging members being in a plane transverse to the said supporting bar.

THOMAS FRANCIS TAYLOR.
